Jason L. Bergevin

Attorney

Having grown up in a small town in Alaska, I understand the value of relationships. In my practice I value establishing long-term relationships with my clients. While we may meet in the context of a dispute, it is my goal to help you resolve that dispute and then work with you to minimize the risk going forward.

Over the years I have represented a wide variety of clients, from small contractors to large developers, from family-owned businesses to public corporations. I have represented every party to a construction dispute – owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and members of the design team. In the commercial context, I have represented numerous small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of transactional and litigation matters. I am also experienced with bid protests before various state and federal entities. As my clients’ businesses have grown, my practice has grown with them to include work as general counsel, helping them with employment and HR issues. I have helped them address a variety of issues including drafting contracts and employment agreements, non-compete agreements, and employee handbooks.

After practicing in Alaska for 11 years, I moved to Seattle in 2010. I remain connected to Alaska through family, friends, and clients. I continue to represent clients in Alaska as I build my practice in Washington. I enjoy all that Seattle has to offer and am thankful to call it home. When I’m not helping my clients, I enjoy relaxing by spending the day in the kitchen cooking for my family and friends. I’ve even catered parties for as many as 175 people, which is somehow a relaxing respite from practicing law! I’ve also been a season subscriber to the Seattle Opera for more than ten years.
